Check Arrives
To Aid Germans
Two hundred eighty seven doll-ars
sent by Missionary Band to
Germany to be used for the relief
of Hamburg Seminary students has
been received and will be applied
to that end, according to a letter
written recently by Mr. Kenneth
Norquist.
Mr. Norquist expressed his ap-preciation
for the gift of money
and indicated the route he is to
travel during a tour through Ger-many
in the near future. Hamburg,
Brenen, Hannover and Westphalia
are some of the cities he will be
visiting. A rally of evangelistic
minded German young people is
planned for March.
The German cities mentioned
and others in that territory will be
re-visited by Mr. Norquist when
Bethel's clothing shipment arrives
and garments will be distributed
by Mr. Norquist at that time.
Two weeks, ago a check for
$1,000 was presented by Maynard
Johnson on behalf of Missionary
Band members to acting foreign
mission secretary Rev. Sten Lind-berg
to be used in the furthering
of Conference missionary work.
India will be sent $300, $200 to
Japan, $200 to Alaska and $200 to
the Philipines. Ethiopia will be
given $100.
Representing Bethel in the tour-nament
were; Thorlief Aunvik, in
oratory, and Wendell Anderson,
Jack Jensen, Tom Persson and
Cliff Anderson, in debate. Prof.
Harold Berntsen accompanied the
group as coach.
Thor Aunevik made a superior
showing in the oratory contest
with his oration entitled, "What
the Europeans Think of America,"
but was not one of the two speak-ers
to enter the finals.
The team composed of Wendell
Anderson and Jack Jensen won
four out of their six debates, being
triumphant over teams from
Northwestern schools, Augsburg
college, South Dakota State Uni-versity
and Souix Falls college.
In their other two rounds, Ander-son
and Jensen were defeated by
only one point by Moorhead State
Teachers college and the Duluth
branch of the University of Minne-sota.
Macalester, the University of
Minnesota, and Northern State
Teachers college were given de-feats
by Tom Persson and Cliff
Anderson. However, they were
beaten in the last three rounds by
North Dakota Agricultural college,
Montana University and Eau Claire
State Teachers college.
The three top teams in the de-bate
tournament were Luther col-lege,
Eau Claire Teachers college,
and St. Olaf college.
TOMORROW NIGHT!
Tomorrow night the second
Campus Game Night, sponsored by

Seventy pints of blood were giv-en
by members of the student
body and Bethel faculty Friday,
January 26 in response to the Red
Cross blood doning campaign.
A mobile unit for draw-ing
the blood was set up
in the recreation room of
the Edgren Residence by a staff
of Red Cross workers on that
day. Work began for them about
9 A. M. and ended after 3:30 in
40 Gather During
Campus Game Night
Last Saturday night, a group of
forty Bethel students gathered in.
the lounge and recreation room
of the boy's dorm and participated
in the first Student Council spon-sored
Game Night this school year.
The evening was designed to pro-vide
inside entertainment defying
the cold winter weather.
In the early part of the evening,
students found themselves at the
various tables to play indoor games
such as Carams, Anagrams, Mon-opoly,
Parchese, Chinese Checkers,
Chess, and working puzzles. In the
recreation room many took their
turn at the ping-pong tables.
A table was set up for the sale
of candies, potato chips, and pop,
and was under the direction of
Anna Newell.
The crowd increased towards the
latter part of the evening when
they all gathered in the lounge
and saw colored slides of former
Bethel activities, such as chorus
trips, football, Homecoming, and
freshman-week, which were shown
by Ruth Martinson.
Lois Redin, College Junior, is
the Student Council chairman of
Game Night: her assistants being
Shirley Kilgore, in charge of
games; Jim Lemon, heading the
table committed and Audrey Hol-stedt,
in charge of publicity.
Army; Rev. Arthur Christenson,
director of Conference work in Cal-ifornia;
Dr. Bernard Ramm and
Prof. Clifford Larson of the Bethel
faculty.
Music and singing will be fur-nished
by Bethel student groups.
Conference sessions will begin
Monday afternoon at 2 P. M. in
the college auditorium. Morning
and afternoon sessions will be held
on the Bethel campus, while even-ing
sessions will be conducted at
Bethlehem Church, Minneapolis
and Central Church, St. Paul.
the afternoon. A physician was on
hand to examine donors and deter-mine
whether or not it would be
advisable for them to give blood.
A hemoglobin test was taken to
eliminate prospective donors who
showed a tendency toward anemia.
None of the donors have reported
ill affects to the campus Health
Service.
In a recent issue, a Red Cross
news sheet listed the uses for
such blood donations as: treatment
for Korean wounded, fighting
blood diseases, use in cases of
severe bleeding, and use in re-search
to teach scientists more
about the chemistry of the blood.
Students who did not donate
blood, but would like to do so may
accompany a group scheduled to
visit the Red Cross regional blood
center in downtown St. Paul dur-ing
the month of March.
Preachers To Be
'On the Spot'
At Alexis Tues.
The "preacher on the spot" will
be the discussional approach for
the Alexis Society meeting, Tues-day,
Feb. 13, at 8:00 P. M. in the
Seminary Chapel. The program is
planned to put preachers and
preachers-to-be from the audience
"on the spot" as to their opinions
about solving problems facing
church leaders.
All Seminary students and fac-ulty
members, their wives and any
interested college students are wel-come
and will be invited to parti-cipate
in group discussion of the
problems confronted by the pastor
in relation to such practical is-sues
of Christian living as "What
to do about Television?", "Remar-riage
after Divorce?", and "What
about Eternal Security?".
Faculty Recital Features
Schumann's Works Tonight
Robert Schumann's Trio in G minor for piano, violin, and cello,
will be the concluding number on tonight's faculty recital, which feat-ures
Mildred Bisgrove, pianist, Valdeko Kangro, violinist, and Kaljo
Raid, 'cellist. This is the second in a series of programs presenting
our faculty in recital.. As well as being very enjoyable, these recitals
educate the listener in the cultural heritage that is ours in music.
The featured composer of the evening is Robert Schumann. There
are three fields in which Schumann has excelled as a composer of the
Romantic Period: piano composition, in the songs and song cycles, and
in the field of chamber music. It is in this last category that we have
our interest for tonight's recital.
Schumann disclosed himself as a master of moods; his music is
characterized by sudden changes of moods that seem to reveal a dual
personality within himself and his music. The music of the romantic
period contains enthusiasm, feeling, humor, charm, and exquisite
taste. In 1851, one hundred years ago, Schumann wrote the Trio in G
minor which is the contribution of the Romantic period to tonight's
recital.
Sonata for Cello and Piano Eccles (1668-1735)
Trio in B flat Major for Violin, Cello, and Piano Mozart
1756-1791)
Allegro
Larghetto
Allegretto
Concertino Marziale for Violin and Piano (Raid, Bethel Faculty)
Trio in G minor for Piano, Violin, and Ceelo Schumann
(1810-1856)
Animato, ma non troppo
Un poco lento
Vivace
Energico e capriccioso
These are the works to be performed tonight at 8:30 P. M. in the
college chapel by the faculty trio.
There are several future dates that are important for music lovers
to remember. On March 9th, the Senior Class of 1951 presents in concert
the A Cappella Choir of the Northwetsern Schools in Minneapolis. On
March 16th, Mildred Bisgrove and C. Howard Smith will present a
two-piano concert in the college chapel in connection with Prospective
Students Day. April 24th has been set aside for another student
recital. The participants are those students who are enrolled in the
applied music courses with some member of our faculty. On April
20th, Edward LaVau, baritone, of our music faculty, will present a
voice recital of standard Italian, German, and English works. On May
4th, Miss Bisgrove, Mr. Kangro, and Mr. Raid will present their final
chamber music program of this year.
Debaters Enter Major Competition
At Red River Valley Tournament
The Bethel debate team traveled to Moorhead, Minnesota, on Feb.
2 and 3 for the Red River Valley Forensics Tournament. Thirty five
men's teams and sixteen teams of women from 24 colleges and uni-versities
took part in the tournament, which is considered one of the
major forensic events of the year in the northwest. The tournament
was sponsored by Moorhead State Teachers college and Concordia col-lege,
both of Moorhead.
"Remember Jesus Christ"
Theme of Founder's Week
"Remember Jesus Christ" has been selected as the theme for the
eighth annual Founder's Week Conference at Bethel., February 19
through 23, 1951.
Commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the founding of Bethel
Seminary in 1871, the week is planned to coincide with the birthday
week of the founder, Dr. John Alexis Edgren.
Pastors and laymen from churches from coast to coast and especi-ally
from the Twin City area will attend the annual occasion. Students
of both the college and seminary are urged to attend all the sessions
possible.

Double Exposure
by Marty
Your letter from Mom gone, a desperate
call for "some extra cash" could only mean
one thing—you have a brother or sister
on campus.
If you're a typical brother-sister team
you might be freshman Gerry Daley and
and sem student Beb Daley. The Daleys
hail from Sioux City, Iowa.
Some families are as alike as twins, and
Connie and Delmar Johnson, Chicagoites,
aren't hard to recognize as having the
same parents.
This pair of blonds, quiet fellows may be
identified as brothers—they're Lowwel and
Roger Bergeson who cite Omega, Wis-consin,
as their home town.
Representatives of Ferndale, Washington,
are the sisters Lorraine and Margaret Fri-berg,
who look alike but don't act alike.
The fellow who said "as close as broth-ers"
must have Eddy and Johnny Viren
in mind. Eddy, recently back from the
Invasion Army, joined his brother as a
sophomore. They're from Duluth.
Violet and Shirley Olson, who room to-gether,
and both work in the Coffee Shop,
come to Bethel from Rutland, North Dak-ota.
A new student on campus, Milton Paul-son
probably came down to watch over
little brother Harris. The Paulson's are
from Albert Lea, Minnesota.
Red-haired Loyd, and his brother, Archie
Cummings are from Sparta, Michigan. (Talk
about family resemblances.)
You know them from the dining hall.
Harold Christenson—manager of the din-ing
hall—is proud to say that the other
Chris, Shirley from Muskegon Heights,
Michigan, is his little sis.
Edna says of her brother Maurice (Prof.)
Schultz, "I don't know what mark you'll
get in Speech."
Another set of brothers may be found in
Robert and Ralph Bennet, here from Sko-kie,
Illinois.
Mrs. Anne Anderson and her son-in-law,
Bert Gilbert, have the rare experience of
going to school together.
Faculty combinations include sophomore
Jocelyn Carlson who's father is dean of the
college, and Jolyn Conrad who's father
teaches in the seminary:
by Ann Radunz
This was my third night - yes, my third
night of unbearable imprisonment,
suffocation, and separation from my loved
ones. I tried to it up, but the tight band
that had been put about me only made
the task more miserable. Regretting that
I had never learned to read, I crawled over
to an amiable looking prisoner and asked
him to tell me what the band said which
so forcefully had become a part of me a
few days ago. After much deliberation,
he slowly repeated these words - -Ester-brook
Pen - -Red - -Found in the library
Jan. 15.
"Hmmm that was three days ago. Too
bad! Since your master hasn't claimed you
yet, you are probably resigned to the fate
of the rest of us - forgotten. Why only
yesterday I saw my master at the banking
window, and thought I was rescued for
sure, but no - he only wanted more money.
I can't believe that he would forget me."
The old grey fountain pen mumbled on,
but I, too disheartened to listen, wiggled
back to my, corner and shamelessly let the
big drops of ink trickle down my cheeks.
The moon-beams streamed in through the
window and illuminated the beautiful
pearls that lay there. Would they ever
again adorn their mistress? The colorful
silk scarfs looked like billowy clouds which,
somewhere, had joined with a passing rain-bow.
My thoughts flew to my owner. Some-times
I hadn't given her the best of ser-vice--
like that time I intentionally squirted
ink all over her term paper–but I usually
tried my beast. A longing to be home filled
me and there, alone among many, I whis-pered,
"Am I forgotten? Am I lost for-ever–
lost in the night?"
President Wingblade
Some years ago a man spoke at Bethel
on the subject—"An Interesting Person."
What persons are interesting? Is it not
true that an interesting person must be an
interested person?
What are you interested in? A professor
at the University of Minnesota once said
that a person who is enthusiastic about
cosines can make other people enthusiastic
about his enthusiasm.
On a New York street, in the rush and
hurry of business, someone dropped a
coin, and the sound of it made many people
turn about—wondering whether they had
lost it. There was another sound—fainter-that
of a cricket or the chirping of a
cricket. Only one man had ears tuned to
hear it—a naturalist. He turned aside from
the rush to investigate curiously.
One of the greatest friendships in Ameri-can
history was that between Jacob Riis,
New York editor, and Theodore Roosevelt,
the distinguished president. It began when
both were young men walking almost arm-in-
arm on the New York sidewalks at
midnight. One was then a reporter and the
other police commissioner.
Jacob Riis became distinguished as an
editor and publisher, also as a philan-thropist.
(Read his life story—The making
of an American.) He wrote another book en-titled,
"How the Other Half Lives" pictur-ing
the conditions of the "submerged
tenth", the East Side and so forth.
Some time after this book came out,
Theodore Roosevelt, now risen to great
prominence, dropped in to Jacob Riis' of-1
fice, and found him out. He left a simple
little note: "Have read your book. Want to
help."
When Robert Moffat was home on fur-lough
from his great missionary labors,
he was a guest in a certain family. The
daughter in the home asked him to in-scribe
his autograph in her album and
write something there. The great mission-ary
wrote the following:
"My album is a savage breast
Where tempests rage and shadows rest
Without a ray of light.
To plant the name of Jesus there,
And see that savage bow in prayer,
And point him to worlds more bright and
fair—
That is my soul's delight."
Shall we ask ourselves: What are we
interested in? A high and holy enthusiasm
will make our lives to glow—for time and
eternity.

by Dave Carlson
The year of our Lord 1951... what a year of uncertainty! Perhaps no one who is
old enough or young enough to be scanning the pages of the CLARION can look back
on any year in their history which began as unsurely as this year which has just been
launched. There seems to be that air of indecision and that feeling of waiting for "the
thing" to "break" which makes for restless spirits coupled with an anxious groping
for something secure in a world of shifting foundations.
Bethel finds itself in the midst of this confusion and perhaps the general atmos-phere
of the times presses itself in upon both administration and students as they
go about this business of offering and pursuing an education. How reassuring it would
be, we sometimes think, if someone could forsee the future year and plot a course
of action which would adequately meet the problems as they arise.
With the Centennial celebration of the Conference a mere seventeen months
hence, much emphasis is being placed on completing the building goals on campus.
This spring we should see the beginning of the Administration-Chapel addition to
our library which will finish a most appropriate memorial to the former Bethel stu-dents
who have given their lives in the service of their country. Let us pray that
more names will not be added to the list before the building is completed. The sep-arate
field house as well as the Music and science building, will no doubt have to
await the easing of the national defense program. If we are allowed to finish the
Snelling Ave. group of buildings now, we should indeed be thankful.
The male population of our school is certainly "betwixt and between" these day*s
as they ponder the possibility of military service interrupting their education soon.
We have already felt the effects of the draft as a few fellows have left school to
enter the service and with the military needs outlined to increase our defense depart-ment
to an estimated three million men, more of our men will be called to the
colors during the summer months.
The school enrollment next fall will probably show a sharp decrease and, whether
we like it or not, we should prepare now for the smaller student body for the year
1951-52. This will probably mean the limitation of some school activities because
of the decrease in revenue and other difficulties arising from our national defense
effort. The school should consider the advisability of adding and strengthening cours-es
to meet the needs of women students. For instance, business, pre-education, home
economics and pre-nursing are fields which should be investigated.
Yes, these are uncertain days but they are also days of great opportunity for
the Christian to stand as a stabilizing element in the midst of confusion. As a Chris-tian
school, Bethel's faculty and student body should be no exception. We, above
all people, should have direction and purpose in our plans and know "whither we
are bound". Therefore, we should seek for God's will and plan as we look ahead to
the years that lie ahead and then efficiently and conscientiously carry out that pl
in every activity of this school. Although we are not "of this world", we are still
the world" and we have a standard set for us in Colossians 3:17 which needs reempha-sis
in this day... "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him." So let us bring a consistent
Christian pattern into everything we do, whether it is in prayer, work, Bible study,
classes, athletics or social activities.
Day of Decision
by Jean Hoskings
It was just another Monday morning chapel. Perhaps I didn't feel quite as sleepy
as some Monday mornings because this was the beginning of Missionary Emphasis
Week. I was interested in the missionaries and what they had to say, but I didn't
really expect them to say anything to me. I knew the field where the Lord wanted
rue to work and it wasn't a foreign mission field. I was siting raher securely among
my friends.
The speaker was saying to count the cost and see if you have the stamina
for missionary work or any Christian work, but the Lord had spoken to me in the
Scripture reading before the message started. There was something I wanted to do
for the Lord and there was no price too great for me to pay.
To leave your family was not too hard. To accomplish very much in the world
you generally had to leave your home. Suffering too is inevitable for all people.
But the verse said, "his own life also".
I knew that any talent I had was from the Lord and I had given it to Hj.m.
To me life meant doing some great thing for His cause. I only wanted the Lord's
will done. Yet I realized that as I went through day-by-day activities' I just didn't
like it when I didn't get my way. At times I felt cheated and resentful.
I had been afraid to do anything I knew the Lord din't want me to do, but
I had done a good deal of independent thinking. I had my own rosy parcel of day-dreams
of the future. I had a lot of my own ideas about what needed to be done
in Christian groups which I thought were pretty important. I repeated the words
to myself, "your own life also". I knew they were speaking of this world within
which I was hugging so close to myself.
I took notes in my next classes, ate lunch, and behaved pretty much as usual
but I was making a decision. I remembered the poem, "The Hound of Heaven" and
I knew the Lord would win.
As I set my books down on the library table that afternoon I said, "my own
life also", and then something just smiled inside of me as I remembered the other
words, "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it".

COLOR IS NEW FEATURE
The 1951 SPIRE will introduce
several new features which have
never appeared in previous Bethel
yearbooks. The outstanding new
innovation will be the inclusion of
color in every section. There will
be panels of green as well as
green headlines throughout the
book. Also featured will be divi-sion
pages printed on a different
stock of light green paper. These
pages will be glued into the bind-ing
and will provide more definite
divisions for each section, accord-ing
to the editor. The final "new
twist" is the arrangement of the
school activities in chronological
order rather than in conjunction
with the sponsoring group.
The members of the editorial
staff have been assigned different
segtions of the book to complete.
Under the general supervision of
Gloris Swanberg, the staff is busy
completing the layouts and design
of the book. Carol Dubuque and
Janet Olson are in charge of the
Administration and Faculty sec-tion.
The Class section is being
handled by Lois Redin and Audrey
Samuelson and Jo Ann Johnson,
Barbara Port and Beverly Harris
are working on the Activities
pages. Florence Nordstrom and
Mary Quernemoen are in charge of
arranging the Organizations with
Cliff Smith and Shirley Lewis
handling the Athletic section. Copy
writers are Ann Radunz and Jean
Hoskings.
HONORS MISS NELSON
The 1951 SPIRE is dedicated to
Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Wo-men
and German professor. Miss
Nelson has served as Dean of
Women for 20 years and her stu-dents
remember her for her quick
wit and congenial personality. An-nouncement
of the dedication was
made this morning by Dave Carl-son
during the Chapel service.
The business staff on the SPIRE
under the direction of Ronald
Johnson, is working toward its
goal of $2,000 worth of advertis-ing.
To date, over half of the ad-vertising
space has been sold and
with several churches and busi-ness
firms still to respond, it is
hoped that the goal will be reach-ed.
Working with Ronny and Nett-ie
Dvirnak, as assistant business
manager, and Roy Lundquist, treas-urer.
Advertising salesmen are Al
Olsson and Don Yerrington. The
typing staff, consisting of Lenore
Anderson, Shirley Adamson, Mari-lyn
Smith and Florence Oman,
handles the typing of all cores-pondence
and filing of pictures.
With Keith Davis and Archie
Cumings in charge, the photo-graphy
staff has taken and devel-oped
pictures of all school activi-ties.
They also were assigned to
take all the organizational pictures
for the SPIRE. The other members
of the staff are Ralph Carlson,
Dick Lovell, Roger Jacobson, Eddie
Meyer, Burton Blair and Rodney
Kjel.
RELEASED MAY 15th
Present plans call for delivery
of the 1951 SPIRE by May 15th.
This will allow aproximately ten
days for students to get their
books autographed before the end
of the school year.

Swedish Family
Likes Campus Life
"Bethel is a 'good Swedish
school", said Mrs. Axel Bjurholm
who, with her two children Peggy
12, and Lars 7, recently arrived
on campus to join their father
and husband, Axel, assistant cust-odian
and engineer. The family is
living in an apartment in the base-ment
of the Seminary building.
Natives of Stockholm, Sweden,
the Bjorhom's say they like Amer-ica
very much and are even "gett-ing
used to the food which in-cludes
a lot more salads than we
are used to".
Lars and Peggy are already en-rolled
in a St. Paul school and are
busy learning the English lang-uage.
Mrs. Bjorhom can under-stand
quite a bit of English and
is becoming more fluent in speak-ing
it. Says little Lars, :11i! is the
easiest word for me."

Miss Helen Peterson in charge.
A group of thirty-five Bethel'
students, members of Mr. Bloom's
and Mr. Engwall's Psychology
classes, visited the Anoka State
Hospital, Anoka, Minnesota, last
Friday afternoon, February 1st.
The Anoka hospital is a mental
hospital and over 1,000 mental
patients are cared for there.
Conducting the group on a tour
of the hospital were Miss Rabkin,
a psychology intern at the hospital
and Mr. Larson, a member of the
administration staff. Miss Rabkin
stated that most of the psychosis
of the patients was the schizo-phrenic
type, and that the hospital
was not of the nature to contain
the exrteme cases of insanity.
The group was taken through
three of the ten cottages on the
grounds and shown the patients,
the way they live, and some of the
handicrafts and arts in which they
engage.
Prior to conducting the tour,
Miss Rabkin gave a brief history
of the fifty year old institution
and told of the therapeutic methods
made available to the patients.
Among these were the electric
shock treatment given to patients
suffering from extreme melan-cholia,
and lobotmies, surgical op-erations
performed on the brain.
Before leaving the institute, the
students were shown the new
Psychology office on the grounds
and were introduced to some of
the testing methods given the pat-ients.

nature relating the story of two
bachelors who cannot receive their
inheritance from their father un-less
one marries.
Following the meeting, the group
will meet for dinner in the Bethel
dining hall.

Cagers Battle Tough Bethany Five Tonight
Indians Seek Sixth Win;
Bethany Here on Tuesday Coffee Cup Set
For March 6
Once again we call your atten-tion
to the fact that the Coffee
Cup Game is coming up on
March 6. That's on a Tuesday night
here in the Bethel gym. It's an
annual traditional game between
the Faculty and some picked team.
Here is the schedule:
Game 1 Seminary All Stars vs. In-tramural
All Stars.
Game 2 Faculty (All stars) vs.
College All Stars
Plan on this game as it is one
which is annually a big spectacle
here on campus. It is sponsored
by the Clarion sports staff.
In their first game, the Bethel
girls team dumped the University
Farm School girls 17-7. The contest
was played at the Bethel gym on
January 31.
A fired-up Bethel five grabbed
an early lead from Itasca J. C. of
Coleraine, Minnesota on January
27 and maintained it to return
home victors, 65-37.
The lopsided win showed there
still was some punch left in the
Indians who had previously lost
six of eight games. All eight play-ers
who played in the contest
scored in the Indian's most deci-sive
win of the season.
Snaring a 16-13 first quarter
lead, the Bethel quintet was led
by fireball guard Bud Pierce who
connected on four shots of 12 at-tempts
in this stanza. Pulling away
in the next period, the cagers held
•the bewildered Vikings to just
four free throws. In the final
twenty minutes, the Indians in-creased
the margin and coasted
home a winner by 28 points.
Scoring for Bethel was as fol-lows:
Pierce and Hage, 12, John-son
11, Thompson 9, Messenger 8,
Ron Nelson 6, Unruh 4, and Harry
Nelson 3.
TOP FIVE
FG FT TP
Bud Pierce 88 16 192
Pete Unruh 27 81
Art Hage 28 24 80
Gordy Johnson 26 25 77
Ralph Martin 27 14 68
In what was probably the feat-ure
game of the season, the cagers
edged Northland College on the
loser's fl. or 64-62 in overtime'.
The contest was played away at
Ashland, WisconFin.
Bethel, out for revenge after an
earlier 58-47 loss to the Lumber-jacks,
played its best game of the
season and were i ewarded with
a spine-tingling victory.
Chalking up their second win
in four days, the Indians downed
Concordia in the first game at
Minnehaha Academy gym since
December 12. The game, played on
the first day of February went into
the books as a 62-45 Indian win.
The Comets insisted on staying
in the ball game for the first half
and made an interesting game out
of it for one half. Halftime score
showed 26-26 deadlock. In this
half both teams attempted 33 shots
with Bethel making 12, one more
than the Comets.
In the last half, smooth-operat-ing
Bud Pierce neatly poured on
the heat as he added thirteen
counters to his already fine first
half total of ten. Genuinely out-distanced,
the Concordia team was
unable to rally and bowed to a
better team. Pete Unruh, sharp-shooting
seminarian dropped in 11
and Gordy Johnson, the team's
best rebounder helped with 10.

First Defeat
Previously undefeated West suf-fered
its first and second defeats
of the season in its last two out-ings.
The Intramural leaders had
not lost any games this year before
in basketball after a perfect foot-ball
record. However, the West
team still continues, to lead the
pack by a safe margin in total
points, now having scored 99. Next
is Illinois with three wins to raise
their total to 67.
East and Iowa both faltered in
their attempts to gain. The Michi-flan-
Wisconsin team picked up ten
points to move closer to fourth
place.

In the overtime, Johnson scored
but so did Northland. Next it was
Pierce's turn, but again the Jacks
countered. So Mesenger dropped
one in which again was equaled
by the opponents. Then with fifty
seconds to play, ice-cool Pierce
dropped in the clincher. The In-
,clians got control of the ball and
stalled out the remaining time.

Cagers Drop Laker
Preliminary 65-46
Dropping their sixth contest in
eight starts, the cagers bowed on
January 19 to Eveleth 65-46. The
game, played at Eveleth, was the
second defeat by Eveleth this year.
Bethel managed to hang fairly
close to the smooth-working north-ern
team in the first quarter as
the score showed them down only
14-12. In the next quarter, Bethel
lost more ground and half time
showed Eveleth leading 30-24.
Continuing to show more power
all along the way, the Eveleth
five went on a scoring rampage in
the last two quarters of the tilt
and far outdistanced the Redmen
by a total of thirteen points to
finish victors by a final margin of
nineteen.

on long set shots and the score
was all tied at 45. Gordy Johnson
sank his second of the night to
give Bethel a third quarter edge
47-45.
Surging ahead with new power, the Indian cagers seem to have
"found themselves" in their last three games. After blowing a loss to
Eveleth on the opponent's court, the Indians have come back to chalk
up victories over Itasca, Concordia, and Northland.
Tonight (February 9), the local five is on the road once more, this
time at Mankato to battle the powerful Bethany crew. Bethany is a
member of the Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference, of which
Bethel was formerly a member be-fore
acquiring their senior col-lege
status. Bethany is the team
to beat in this conference this
year and appears to be headed for
the title. So this all adds up to
the fact that Bethel is in for a
rough contest tonight.

the team shows the power it dis-played

Check Arrives
To Aid Germans
Two hundred eighty seven doll-ars
sent by Missionary Band to
Germany to be used for the relief
of Hamburg Seminary students has
been received and will be applied
to that end, according to a letter
written recently by Mr. Kenneth
Norquist.
Mr. Norquist expressed his ap-preciation
for the gift of money
and indicated the route he is to
travel during a tour through Ger-many
in the near future. Hamburg,
Brenen, Hannover and Westphalia
are some of the cities he will be
visiting. A rally of evangelistic
minded German young people is
planned for March.
The German cities mentioned
and others in that territory will be
re-visited by Mr. Norquist when
Bethel's clothing shipment arrives
and garments will be distributed
by Mr. Norquist at that time.
Two weeks, ago a check for
$1,000 was presented by Maynard
Johnson on behalf of Missionary
Band members to acting foreign
mission secretary Rev. Sten Lind-berg
to be used in the furthering
of Conference missionary work.
India will be sent $300, $200 to
Japan, $200 to Alaska and $200 to
the Philipines. Ethiopia will be
given $100.
Representing Bethel in the tour-nament
were; Thorlief Aunvik, in
oratory, and Wendell Anderson,
Jack Jensen, Tom Persson and
Cliff Anderson, in debate. Prof.
Harold Berntsen accompanied the
group as coach.
Thor Aunevik made a superior
showing in the oratory contest
with his oration entitled, "What
the Europeans Think of America,"
but was not one of the two speak-ers
to enter the finals.
The team composed of Wendell
Anderson and Jack Jensen won
four out of their six debates, being
triumphant over teams from
Northwestern schools, Augsburg
college, South Dakota State Uni-versity
and Souix Falls college.
In their other two rounds, Ander-son
and Jensen were defeated by
only one point by Moorhead State
Teachers college and the Duluth
branch of the University of Minne-sota.
Macalester, the University of
Minnesota, and Northern State
Teachers college were given de-feats
by Tom Persson and Cliff
Anderson. However, they were
beaten in the last three rounds by
North Dakota Agricultural college,
Montana University and Eau Claire
State Teachers college.
The three top teams in the de-bate
tournament were Luther col-lege,
Eau Claire Teachers college,
and St. Olaf college.

of the boy's dorm and participated
in the first Student Council spon-sored
Game Night this school year.
The evening was designed to pro-vide
inside entertainment defying
the cold winter weather.
In the early part of the evening,
students found themselves at the
various tables to play indoor games
such as Carams, Anagrams, Mon-opoly,
Parchese, Chinese Checkers,
Chess, and working puzzles. In the
recreation room many took their
turn at the ping-pong tables.
A table was set up for the sale
of candies, potato chips, and pop,
and was under the direction of
Anna Newell.
The crowd increased towards the
latter part of the evening when
they all gathered in the lounge

hand to examine donors and deter-mine
whether or not it would be
advisable for them to give blood.
A hemoglobin test was taken to
eliminate prospective donors who
showed a tendency toward anemia.
None of the donors have reported
ill affects to the campus Health
Service.
In a recent issue, a Red Cross
news sheet listed the uses for
such blood donations as: treatment
for Korean wounded, fighting
blood diseases, use in cases of
severe bleeding, and use in re-search
to teach scientists more
about the chemistry of the blood.
Students who did not donate
blood, but would like to do so may
accompany a group scheduled to
visit the Red Cross regional blood
center in downtown St. Paul dur-ing
the month of March.
Preachers To Be
'On the Spot'
At Alexis Tues.
The "preacher on the spot" will
be the discussional approach for
the Alexis Society meeting, Tues-day,
Feb. 13, at 8:00 P. M. in the
Seminary Chapel. The program is
planned to put preachers and
preachers-to-be from the audience
"on the spot" as to their opinions
about solving problems facing
church leaders.
All Seminary students and fac-ulty
members, their wives and any
interested college students are wel-come
and will be invited to parti-cipate
in group discussion of the
problems confronted by the pastor
in relation to such practical is-sues
of Christian living as "What
to do about Television?", "Remar-riage
after Divorce?", and "What
about Eternal Security?".
Faculty Recital Features
Schumann's Works Tonight
Robert Schumann's Trio in G minor for piano, violin, and cello,
will be the concluding number on tonight's faculty recital, which feat-ures
Mildred Bisgrove, pianist, Valdeko Kangro, violinist, and Kaljo
Raid, 'cellist. This is the second in a series of programs presenting
our faculty in recital.. As well as being very enjoyable, these recitals
educate the listener in the cultural heritage that is ours in music.
The featured composer of the evening is Robert Schumann. There
are three fields in which Schumann has excelled as a composer of the
Romantic Period: piano composition, in the songs and song cycles, and
in the field of chamber music. It is in this last category that we have
our interest for tonight's recital.
Schumann disclosed himself as a master of moods; his music is
characterized by sudden changes of moods that seem to reveal a dual
personality within himself and his music. The music of the romantic
period contains enthusiasm, feeling, humor, charm, and exquisite
taste. In 1851, one hundred years ago, Schumann wrote the Trio in G
minor which is the contribution of the Romantic period to tonight's
recital.

Debaters Enter Major Competition
At Red River Valley Tournament
The Bethel debate team traveled to Moorhead, Minnesota, on Feb.
2 and 3 for the Red River Valley Forensics Tournament. Thirty five
men's teams and sixteen teams of women from 24 colleges and uni-versities
took part in the tournament, which is considered one of the
major forensic events of the year in the northwest. The tournament
was sponsored by Moorhead State Teachers college and Concordia col-lege,
both of Moorhead.
"Remember Jesus Christ"
Theme of Founder's Week
"Remember Jesus Christ" has been selected as the theme for the
eighth annual Founder's Week Conference at Bethel., February 19
through 23, 1951.
Commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the founding of Bethel
Seminary in 1871, the week is planned to coincide with the birthday
week of the founder, Dr. John Alexis Edgren.

Double Exposure
by Marty
Your letter from Mom gone, a desperate
call for "some extra cash" could only mean
one thing—you have a brother or sister
on campus.
If you're a typical brother-sister team
you might be freshman Gerry Daley and
and sem student Beb Daley. The Daleys
hail from Sioux City, Iowa.
Some families are as alike as twins, and
Connie and Delmar Johnson, Chicagoites,
aren't hard to recognize as having the
same parents.
This pair of blonds, quiet fellows may be
identified as brothers—they're Lowwel and
Roger Bergeson who cite Omega, Wis-consin,
as their home town.
Representatives of Ferndale, Washington,
are the sisters Lorraine and Margaret Fri-berg,
who look alike but don't act alike.
The fellow who said "as close as broth-ers"
must have Eddy and Johnny Viren
in mind. Eddy, recently back from the
Invasion Army, joined his brother as a
sophomore. They're from Duluth.
Violet and Shirley Olson, who room to-gether,
and both work in the Coffee Shop,
come to Bethel from Rutland, North Dak-ota.
A new student on campus, Milton Paul-son
probably came down to watch over
little brother Harris. The Paulson's are
from Albert Lea, Minnesota.
Red-haired Loyd, and his brother, Archie
Cummings are from Sparta, Michigan. (Talk
about family resemblances.)
You know them from the dining hall.
Harold Christenson—manager of the din-ing
hall—is proud to say that the other
Chris, Shirley from Muskegon Heights,
Michigan, is his little sis.
Edna says of her brother Maurice (Prof.)
Schultz, "I don't know what mark you'll
get in Speech."
Another set of brothers may be found in
Robert and Ralph Bennet, here from Sko-kie,
Illinois.
Mrs. Anne Anderson and her son-in-law,
Bert Gilbert, have the rare experience of
going to school together.
Faculty combinations include sophomore
Jocelyn Carlson who's father is dean of the
college, and Jolyn Conrad who's father
teaches in the seminary:
by Ann Radunz
This was my third night - yes, my third
night of unbearable imprisonment,
suffocation, and separation from my loved
ones. I tried to it up, but the tight band
that had been put about me only made
the task more miserable. Regretting that
I had never learned to read, I crawled over
to an amiable looking prisoner and asked
him to tell me what the band said which
so forcefully had become a part of me a
few days ago. After much deliberation,
he slowly repeated these words - -Ester-brook
Pen - -Red - -Found in the library
Jan. 15.
"Hmmm that was three days ago. Too
bad! Since your master hasn't claimed you
yet, you are probably resigned to the fate
of the rest of us - forgotten. Why only
yesterday I saw my master at the banking
window, and thought I was rescued for
sure, but no - he only wanted more money.
I can't believe that he would forget me."
The old grey fountain pen mumbled on,
but I, too disheartened to listen, wiggled
back to my, corner and shamelessly let the
big drops of ink trickle down my cheeks.
The moon-beams streamed in through the
window and illuminated the beautiful
pearls that lay there. Would they ever
again adorn their mistress? The colorful
silk scarfs looked like billowy clouds which,
somewhere, had joined with a passing rain-bow.
My thoughts flew to my owner. Some-times
I hadn't given her the best of ser-vice--
like that time I intentionally squirted
ink all over her term paper–but I usually
tried my beast. A longing to be home filled
me and there, alone among many, I whis-pered,
"Am I forgotten? Am I lost for-ever–
lost in the night?"
President Wingblade
Some years ago a man spoke at Bethel
on the subject—"An Interesting Person."
What persons are interesting? Is it not
true that an interesting person must be an
interested person?
What are you interested in? A professor
at the University of Minnesota once said
that a person who is enthusiastic about
cosines can make other people enthusiastic
about his enthusiasm.
On a New York street, in the rush and
hurry of business, someone dropped a
coin, and the sound of it made many people
turn about—wondering whether they had
lost it. There was another sound—fainter-that
of a cricket or the chirping of a
cricket. Only one man had ears tuned to
hear it—a naturalist. He turned aside from
the rush to investigate curiously.
One of the greatest friendships in Ameri-can
history was that between Jacob Riis,
New York editor, and Theodore Roosevelt,
the distinguished president. It began when
both were young men walking almost arm-in-
arm on the New York sidewalks at
midnight. One was then a reporter and the
other police commissioner.
Jacob Riis became distinguished as an
editor and publisher, also as a philan-thropist.
(Read his life story—The making
of an American.) He wrote another book en-titled,
"How the Other Half Lives" pictur-ing
the conditions of the "submerged
tenth", the East Side and so forth.
Some time after this book came out,
Theodore Roosevelt, now risen to great
prominence, dropped in to Jacob Riis' of-1
fice, and found him out. He left a simple
little note: "Have read your book. Want to
help."
When Robert Moffat was home on fur-lough
from his great missionary labors,
he was a guest in a certain family. The
daughter in the home asked him to in-scribe
his autograph in her album and
write something there. The great mission-ary
wrote the following:
"My album is a savage breast
Where tempests rage and shadows rest
Without a ray of light.
To plant the name of Jesus there,
And see that savage bow in prayer,
And point him to worlds more bright and
fair—
That is my soul's delight."
Shall we ask ourselves: What are we
interested in? A high and holy enthusiasm
will make our lives to glow—for time and
eternity.

by Dave Carlson
The year of our Lord 1951... what a year of uncertainty! Perhaps no one who is
old enough or young enough to be scanning the pages of the CLARION can look back
on any year in their history which began as unsurely as this year which has just been
launched. There seems to be that air of indecision and that feeling of waiting for "the
thing" to "break" which makes for restless spirits coupled with an anxious groping
for something secure in a world of shifting foundations.
Bethel finds itself in the midst of this confusion and perhaps the general atmos-phere
of the times presses itself in upon both administration and students as they
go about this business of offering and pursuing an education. How reassuring it would
be, we sometimes think, if someone could forsee the future year and plot a course
of action which would adequately meet the problems as they arise.
With the Centennial celebration of the Conference a mere seventeen months
hence, much emphasis is being placed on completing the building goals on campus.
This spring we should see the beginning of the Administration-Chapel addition to
our library which will finish a most appropriate memorial to the former Bethel stu-dents
who have given their lives in the service of their country. Let us pray that
more names will not be added to the list before the building is completed. The sep-arate
field house as well as the Music and science building, will no doubt have to
await the easing of the national defense program. If we are allowed to finish the
Snelling Ave. group of buildings now, we should indeed be thankful.
The male population of our school is certainly "betwixt and between" these day*s
as they ponder the possibility of military service interrupting their education soon.
We have already felt the effects of the draft as a few fellows have left school to
enter the service and with the military needs outlined to increase our defense depart-ment
to an estimated three million men, more of our men will be called to the
colors during the summer months.
The school enrollment next fall will probably show a sharp decrease and, whether
we like it or not, we should prepare now for the smaller student body for the year
1951-52. This will probably mean the limitation of some school activities because
of the decrease in revenue and other difficulties arising from our national defense
effort. The school should consider the advisability of adding and strengthening cours-es
to meet the needs of women students. For instance, business, pre-education, home
economics and pre-nursing are fields which should be investigated.
Yes, these are uncertain days but they are also days of great opportunity for
the Christian to stand as a stabilizing element in the midst of confusion. As a Chris-tian
school, Bethel's faculty and student body should be no exception. We, above
all people, should have direction and purpose in our plans and know "whither we
are bound". Therefore, we should seek for God's will and plan as we look ahead to
the years that lie ahead and then efficiently and conscientiously carry out that pl
in every activity of this school. Although we are not "of this world", we are still
the world" and we have a standard set for us in Colossians 3:17 which needs reempha-sis
in this day... "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him." So let us bring a consistent
Christian pattern into everything we do, whether it is in prayer, work, Bible study,
classes, athletics or social activities.
Day of Decision
by Jean Hoskings
It was just another Monday morning chapel. Perhaps I didn't feel quite as sleepy
as some Monday mornings because this was the beginning of Missionary Emphasis
Week. I was interested in the missionaries and what they had to say, but I didn't
really expect them to say anything to me. I knew the field where the Lord wanted
rue to work and it wasn't a foreign mission field. I was siting raher securely among
my friends.
The speaker was saying to count the cost and see if you have the stamina
for missionary work or any Christian work, but the Lord had spoken to me in the
Scripture reading before the message started. There was something I wanted to do
for the Lord and there was no price too great for me to pay.
To leave your family was not too hard. To accomplish very much in the world
you generally had to leave your home. Suffering too is inevitable for all people.
But the verse said, "his own life also".
I knew that any talent I had was from the Lord and I had given it to Hj.m.
To me life meant doing some great thing for His cause. I only wanted the Lord's
will done. Yet I realized that as I went through day-by-day activities' I just didn't
like it when I didn't get my way. At times I felt cheated and resentful.
I had been afraid to do anything I knew the Lord din't want me to do, but
I had done a good deal of independent thinking. I had my own rosy parcel of day-dreams
of the future. I had a lot of my own ideas about what needed to be done
in Christian groups which I thought were pretty important. I repeated the words
to myself, "your own life also". I knew they were speaking of this world within
which I was hugging so close to myself.
I took notes in my next classes, ate lunch, and behaved pretty much as usual
but I was making a decision. I remembered the poem, "The Hound of Heaven" and
I knew the Lord would win.
As I set my books down on the library table that afternoon I said, "my own
life also", and then something just smiled inside of me as I remembered the other
words, "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it".

COLOR IS NEW FEATURE
The 1951 SPIRE will introduce
several new features which have
never appeared in previous Bethel
yearbooks. The outstanding new
innovation will be the inclusion of
color in every section. There will
be panels of green as well as
green headlines throughout the
book. Also featured will be divi-sion
pages printed on a different
stock of light green paper. These
pages will be glued into the bind-ing
and will provide more definite
divisions for each section, accord-ing
to the editor. The final "new
twist" is the arrangement of the
school activities in chronological
order rather than in conjunction
with the sponsoring group.
The members of the editorial
staff have been assigned different
segtions of the book to complete.
Under the general supervision of
Gloris Swanberg, the staff is busy
completing the layouts and design
of the book. Carol Dubuque and
Janet Olson are in charge of the
Administration and Faculty sec-tion.
The Class section is being
handled by Lois Redin and Audrey
Samuelson and Jo Ann Johnson,
Barbara Port and Beverly Harris
are working on the Activities
pages. Florence Nordstrom and
Mary Quernemoen are in charge of
arranging the Organizations with
Cliff Smith and Shirley Lewis
handling the Athletic section. Copy
writers are Ann Radunz and Jean
Hoskings.
HONORS MISS NELSON
The 1951 SPIRE is dedicated to
Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Wo-men
and German professor. Miss
Nelson has served as Dean of
Women for 20 years and her stu-dents
remember her for her quick
wit and congenial personality. An-nouncement
of the dedication was
made this morning by Dave Carl-son
during the Chapel service.
The business staff on the SPIRE
under the direction of Ronald
Johnson, is working toward its
goal of $2,000 worth of advertis-ing.
To date, over half of the ad-vertising
space has been sold and
with several churches and busi-ness
firms still to respond, it is
hoped that the goal will be reach-ed.
Working with Ronny and Nett-ie
Dvirnak, as assistant business
manager, and Roy Lundquist, treas-urer.
Advertising salesmen are Al
Olsson and Don Yerrington. The
typing staff, consisting of Lenore
Anderson, Shirley Adamson, Mari-lyn
Smith and Florence Oman,
handles the typing of all cores-pondence
and filing of pictures.
With Keith Davis and Archie
Cumings in charge, the photo-graphy
staff has taken and devel-oped
pictures of all school activi-ties.
They also were assigned to
take all the organizational pictures
for the SPIRE. The other members
of the staff are Ralph Carlson,
Dick Lovell, Roger Jacobson, Eddie
Meyer, Burton Blair and Rodney
Kjel.
RELEASED MAY 15th
Present plans call for delivery
of the 1951 SPIRE by May 15th.
This will allow aproximately ten
days for students to get their
books autographed before the end
of the school year.
M'mslle Magazine
Sponsors Fiction

Swedish Family
Likes Campus Life
"Bethel is a 'good Swedish
school", said Mrs. Axel Bjurholm
who, with her two children Peggy
12, and Lars 7, recently arrived
on campus to join their father
and husband, Axel, assistant cust-odian
and engineer. The family is
living in an apartment in the base-ment
of the Seminary building.
Natives of Stockholm, Sweden,
the Bjorhom's say they like Amer-ica
very much and are even "gett-ing
used to the food which in-cludes
a lot more salads than we
are used to".
Lars and Peggy are already en-rolled
in a St. Paul school and are
busy learning the English lang-uage.
Mrs. Bjorhom can under-stand
quite a bit of English and
is becoming more fluent in speak-ing
it. Says little Lars, :11i! is the
easiest word for me."
Speech Contest
Considered by TSP
Plans for sponsoring a speech
contest on campus were mentioned
by Tau Sigma Pi members at their
meeting last Tuesday besides the
active participation which they en-gaged
in during •th e panel dis-cussion
scheduled for the even-ing.
"Family Table Talk", the subject
chosen for panel discussion, was
thrown open to the entire group
later in the meeting to discover
what students considered proper
topics for conversation during
meal time.
Lorraine Pepper led the discus-sion,
assisted by Bernice , Good-night
and Naomi Nesterud. Gordon
Paulson spoke impromptu on
"Hanging Pictures" and Genevieve
Sutton gave the poem, The Touch
of the Master's Hand earlier in
the program. Dean Olson acted
as presiding chairman.
Voth Addresses
Freshmen at First

_Hath Filled My Soul". Instrumen-tal
numbers included a trumpet
and alto horn duet, "The Stranger
of Galilee," by Gene Messenger
and Al Malmstrom, and Florence
Jacobson played "There's Power
in the Blood" on the bells'.
Mr. Myron Voth of St. Paul

refreshments will be served.
B. W. A.
The Bethel Women's Association
will meet next Thursday, February
15th, with Miss Barbara Port and
Miss Helen Peterson in charge.
A group of thirty-five Bethel'
students, members of Mr. Bloom's
and Mr. Engwall's Psychology
classes, visited the Anoka State
Hospital, Anoka, Minnesota, last
Friday afternoon, February 1st.
The Anoka hospital is a mental
hospital and over 1,000 mental
patients are cared for there.
Conducting the group on a tour
of the hospital were Miss Rabkin,
a psychology intern at the hospital
and Mr. Larson, a member of the
administration staff. Miss Rabkin
stated that most of the psychosis
of the patients was the schizo-phrenic
type, and that the hospital
was not of the nature to contain
the exrteme cases of insanity.
The group was taken through
three of the ten cottages on the
grounds and shown the patients,
the way they live, and some of the
handicrafts and arts in which they
engage.
Prior to conducting the tour,
Miss Rabkin gave a brief history
of the fifty year old institution
and told of the therapeutic methods
made available to the patients.
Among these were the electric
shock treatment given to patients
suffering from extreme melan-cholia,
and lobotmies, surgical op-erations
performed on the brain.
Before leaving the institute, the
students were shown the new
Psychology office on the grounds
and were introduced to some of
the testing methods given the pat-ients.
Skit is Feature
of German Club
Next Tuesday
Next Tuesday, February 13th, at
11:20 a. m., in the lounge of the
girl's dormitory, the German club
will hold its first meeting of the
month. A skit entitled "Einer Muss
Heiratez!" will be presented by
second year German students. A
narrator will narrate the text in
English. Miss Nelson, German in-structor,
has re-edited the skit
from a one act play of the same
title. The skit is of a humorous
nature relating the story of two
bachelors who cannot receive their
inheritance from their father un-less
one marries.
Following the meeting, the group
will meet for dinner in the Bethel
dining hall.

Bethany Here on Tuesday Coffee Cup Set
For March 6
Once again we call your atten-tion
to the fact that the Coffee
Cup Game is coming up on
March 6. That's on a Tuesday night
here in the Bethel gym. It's an
annual traditional game between
the Faculty and some picked team.

Game 1 Seminary All Stars vs. In-tramural
All Stars.
Game 2 Faculty (All stars) vs.
College All Stars
Plan on this game as it is one
which is annually a big spectacle
here on campus. It is sponsored
by the Clarion sports staff.
In their first game, the Bethel
girls team dumped the University
Farm School girls 17-7. The contest
was played at the Bethel gym on
January 31.
A fired-up Bethel five grabbed
an early lead from Itasca J. C. of
Coleraine, Minnesota on January
27 and maintained it to return
home victors, 65-37.
The lopsided win showed there
still was some punch left in the
Indians who had previously lost
six of eight games. All eight play-ers
who played in the contest
scored in the Indian's most deci-sive
win of the season.
Snaring a 16-13 first quarter
lead, the Bethel quintet was led
by fireball guard Bud Pierce who
connected on four shots of 12 at-tempts
in this stanza. Pulling away
in the next period, the cagers held
•the bewildered Vikings to just
four free throws. In the final
twenty minutes, the Indians in-creased
the margin and coasted
home a winner by 28 points.
Scoring for Bethel was as fol-lows:
Pierce and Hage, 12, John-son
11, Thompson 9, Messenger 8,
Ron Nelson 6, Unruh 4, and Harry
Nelson 3.

In what was probably the feat-ure
game of the season, the cagers

The contest was played away at
Ashland, WisconFin.
Bethel, out for revenge after an
earlier 58-47 loss to the Lumber-jacks,
played its best game of the
season and were i ewarded with
a spine-tingling victory.
Chalking up their second win
in four days, the Indians downed
Concordia in the first game at
Minnehaha Academy gym since
December 12. The game, played on
the first day of February went into
the books as a 62-45 Indian win.
The Comets insisted on staying
in the ball game for the first half
and made an interesting game out
of it for one half. Halftime score
showed 26-26 deadlock. In this
half both teams attempted 33 shots
with Bethel making 12, one more
than the Comets.
In the last half, smooth-operat-ing
Bud Pierce neatly poured on
the heat as he added thirteen
counters to his already fine first
half total of ten. Genuinely out-distanced,
the Concordia team was
unable to rally and bowed to a
better team. Pete Unruh, sharp-shooting
seminarian dropped in 11
and Gordy Johnson, the team's
best rebounder helped with 10.

Cagers Drop Laker
Preliminary 65-46
Dropping their sixth contest in
eight starts, the cagers bowed on
January 19 to Eveleth 65-46. The
game, played at Eveleth, was the
second defeat by Eveleth this year.
Bethel managed to hang fairly
close to the smooth-working north-ern
team in the first quarter as
the score showed them down only
14-12. In the next quarter, Bethel
lost more ground and half time
showed Eveleth leading 30-24.
Continuing to show more power
all along the way, the Eveleth
five went on a scoring rampage in
the last two quarters of the tilt
and far outdistanced the Redmen
by a total of thirteen points to
finish victors by a final margin of
nineteen.

Surging ahead with new power, the Indian cagers seem to have

Eveleth on the opponent's court, the Indians have come back to chalk
up victories over Itasca, Concordia, and Northland.
Tonight (February 9), the local five is on the road once more, this
time at Mankato to battle the powerful Bethany crew. Bethany is a
member of the Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference, of which
Bethel was formerly a member be-fore
acquiring their senior col-lege
status. Bethany is the team
to beat in this conference this
year and appears to be headed for
the title. So this all adds up to
the fact that Bethel is in for a
rough contest tonight.
